District Court Notes.

The jury in the Shuck VS.. City of
Abilene case came in at six O'Clock last
night. The plaintiff was awarded 81
800 damages. Just here we would call
the attention of the proper authorities
to the fact that there are a number of
jumping off places about town now, and
unless they want to put the city to
another big expense they had better
attend to the repairing of the same at
once. The Shuck case should be a
warning, and act as preventive of fu-
ture like accidents.
Locking the barn door after the horse
is stolen is mighty poor satisfaction,
and we don't believe the average tax
payer is much stuck on that plan Of
procedure.
Gentlemen, remember that procrasti-
nation is a bad habit, and involves
much trouble and expense in nine cases
out of ten. See that crazy sidewalks
are put in a sane condition, have the
holes filled I'D, and if work is being
done, see that they are carefully guard
ed; see that no piles of rubbish and de.
bris, dirt, brick, stone, etc., are allowed
to obstruct the public highway; keep
the roadways and sidewalks in proper
repair, and Wen have no more suits for
damages.
